Tick box

+A well argued article in Counterpunch makes interesting reading on the subject of Lyme’s disease, which I have commented on before. My concern was about how climate change was encouraging the spread of this tick-borne disease—a disease which can have very serious health consequences. Now it seems probable that the disease was created as a biological weapon, and to make matters worse was developed by former Nazi scientists recruited by the U.S. government in ‘Operation Paperclip,’ which saw the likes of Werner von Braun of V2 rocket and Apollo fame migrate to the U.S. after World War Two. If this story is borne out then perhaps anyone catching the disease should start a class action against the U.S. government.
 
+I wonder if anyone in the LibDems is having second thoughts about their new leader. First she says she will do whatever it takes to stop Brexit, then she says she won’t deal with Corbyn on the subject, then she says she will after a slight hint of pressure. Are we supposed to believe her when she said she fought tooth and nail against certain austerity measures when she was a minister in the Tory coalition government? It’s the same old ‘all things to all people’ claptrap from the LibDems, I regret to say.
